You clicked open in new tab or had Javascript disabled

Can also happen if the page hasn't fully loaded.

Indeed, in that case the Javascript isn't fully initialized yet, so it can't capture the click on the link, so the default link action is executed

Nope. Neither one of those happened. NoScript allows techpowerup.com & tpucdn.com and I direct-clicked it.

Not that either, I spent time reading a few comments, including Mussels' comment which was the one being given the like.

Nope, didn't open another tab. Although that does work, that's not what happened.

Not sure if this goes here, but I'll ask anyway;

Mayhap there be a new feature lurking? Or is this an old feature reworked?

That's been around for a while. It's enabled for troubleshooting threads and the like. Basically for letting the users upvote the correct or better solution to the issue discussed in the thread. W1zz mentioned it in

XenForo upgraded to 2.2

I just upgraded the forum software, there's several new features, some of which need to be activated individually. https://xenforo.com/community/forums/have-you-seen/?prefix_id=49 Everything seems to be running fine here so far, report here if you notice anything worth mentioning

This is the new "Question" thread type, where people can vote on answers

Fair enough. I've never seen it before..

It's not particularly popular here, I think I'll end up turning the feature off at some point

OH NO please...
i use it! and i lead some some sort of statistics with it...

Hi!

I hope this is the appropriate topic for this.
I found a strange error in the GPU database page.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 Specs

NVIDIA GK107, 993 MHz, 384 Cores, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, 1024 MB GDDR5, 1253 MHz, 128 bit

www.techpowerup.com

When checking the relative performance part, it shows:

and after a few page reload

The difference between GT 740 and HD 5770 jumps from 142% to 101%

Added info: Up to date Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi, all do this, after about 4-5 reload it switches between the two data.

 

[the54thvoid]

142% for me....

 

[W1zzard]

The difference between GT 740 and HD 5770 jumps from 142% to 101%

confirmed, wow, what's happening here

 

[Mussels]

woops, i had fun with that

 

[lexluthermiester]

woops, i had fun with that

I've never seen that. Damn Mussels!

 

[Mussels]

I've never seen that. Damn Mussels!

I get lots of warnings about "you need to wait X seconds..." and such
Shit i even triggered the spam filters once and w1zz had to unban my IP

 

[lexluthermiester]

I get lots of warnings about "you need to wait X seconds..." and such

I get those once in a while, especially when I'm on a roll or in a hurry... and they are really VERY IRRITATING...

 

[sam_86314]

I actually see that pretty frequently when I'm perusing the GPU database.

 

[W1zzard]

working as intended, and it's fine if you trigger it, even multiple times, just solve the captcha, which usually means just clicking the checkbox

I actually see that pretty frequently when I'm perusing the GPU database.

i tried to make it as painless as possible, while still trying to keep the bots and scrapers out.

This is fixed now. Thanks again!

The underlying issue was the following:
- We don't have performance data for all cards, so we have to estimate it for some
- When estimating, it looks for a GPU with similar properties, based on architecture and shader count
- For the GT740 specifically both GT640 and GTX 650 have same arch and shader count, yet totally different performance
- So it randomly picked one, depending on the order in which the database server returned results
- I updated this to also take into account the GPU clock (closer GPU clock wins in the selection for the "base" card for estimates)

This is fair..

As stated yes I do.

Yesterday I left for an hour and came back and was quickly logged out.

Fixed means only in code yet, or it's alive on the site already, because I still got two results?

When youtube links with timestamps are inserted, they are converted to BBCode which then strips the timecode when it's rendered. Example: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...rrives-this-august.284302/page-2#post-4558003
